A & B started a partnership business. A's investment was thrice the investment of B and the period of his investment was two times the period of investments of B. If B received Rs 4000 as profit , what is their total profit?
[ "34000", "None of these", "28000", "32000" ]
C
Explanation : Suppose B's investment = x. Then A's investment= 3x Suppose Bs period of investment = y, then A's period of investment = 2y A : B = 3x * 2y : xy = 6 : 1 Total profit * 1/7 = 4000 => Total profit = 4000*7 = 28000. Answer : Option A
